Van Halen-Email Response on comments made about Dave and Van Halen

[Rock Star]

This is the email from a radio station, their side of the story on Dave and Van Halen in general!

"on the contrary my friend. . . yes we make fun of some of the individuals.
Its hard not to make fun of DLR when he doesn't pay over $100,000 to a
publicity firm that's tried to keep his image and name up and help him earn
money. And Gary Cherone......nice guy but a very bad move on the part of the
three original members. Most remember Cherone's mediocre performance - I
remember the mediocre music. The album is a celebration of Eddie's sobriety
rather than his virtuosity and songwriting. Don't worry - every great band
has a clunker or two and there is no doubt in my mind that there are many
great VH records to come.

(Blank) FM has never dogged the music and never will - but the band (outside of
cancer treatment) sound confused and lacking direction. It is only too easy
to blame their now ex-manager on the Cherone fiasco but Eddie and Alex have
to take some of the blame as they've always "held the keys".

Here's hoping for bigger and better things!!"

Maybe we need to change the forum name from Opinions to 'DJ's Opinions'. Either way, I'm sending it there.
